Description

What if I had a Substackcast? Waitaminute, Steve, if you don’t want to read your own stuff, why would others?


Should’ve bought Microsoft!


Chinese banks a hustling!


I have a problem! Workouts in but my account is less than 50 RMB! Can’t scan in! What should I do?


How are my Chinese language lessons going?


Tim Cook steps down, John Ternus steps in. Twenty five years at the company?! Did I miss something by leaving my old company? Companies?! Or, did I gain something by doing something else?!
